Protecting Children’s Information
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old and do not knowingly collect any of their Personally Identifiable Information.

Policy Changes
From time to time, we may use customer information for unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice.
